Opportunities and challenges in the implementation of a statistical project in the initial training of mathematics and science teachers: Reflections from the voice of teacher educators

We identified opportunities and challenges during the implementation of a project in the framework of civic statistics through the analysis of the audio recording of meetings developed by the teacher educators. We highlight the project as an opportunity for the generation of interdisciplinary work in teacher training, as well as bringing the territory closer to future teachers with the development of this type of project. In terms of challenges, teacher educators find it difficult for future teachers to pose a research question that can be addressed with the available data and the difficulty of working with second-order data. We invite the generation of interdisciplinary spaces in the context of teacher training, and to move towards transdisciplinary spaces.References
